With the spiritual death of mankind, people remained steep in “flesh” and “lustful desires” pursuing “uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts” and detached from their divine and spiritual lineage. (Romans 1:24).
Owing to the disconnection from the living Spirit of Father God, mankind incurs spiritual death which may manifest in the flesh through several characters and conducts. These include: unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; envy, murder, deceitfulness, malignity; whisperers, backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents; lacking understanding, covenant breakers, lacking natural affection, hard-hearted, and unmerciful.
The spiritually dead commit these and have pleasure in them that do them being aware of the judgement of death. (Romans 1:29-32; Colossians 3:5).
